Chapter 43 - This Christmas (Pt.2)✔️

Charlotte's POV
December 24, 2016

I woke up confused.

I looked around myself and took in my surroundings.

I was in our hotel room in the living room in a really comfy gray swivel chair.

I took a second to think, "How did I get here?".

Oh yeah, Now I remember!

Last night Mia, Jonah, Zach and I wanted to watch a movie so we all came in the living room. When the movie was halfway done Jonah and Mia left because they said they were tired but Zach and I decided to finish the movie.

At some point during the movie Zach fell asleep then I got tired as well so I fell asleep.

I guess we were just so comfy that we were too lazy to get up.

Groaning, then shifting startled me causing me to look down only to see my boyfriend cuddled up next to me.

Zach had both of his arms wrapped around my waist while his head rested on my stomach prohibiting me from leaving his grasp.

I smiled and reached my hand out to touch his face. I lightly grazed my fingertips over the features on his face. From his cute button nose to his pink lips. His hair was tousled over his hair making him look cuter than he already was.

I then began playing with his hair. I started running my fingers through his hair. It was so soft and my fingers just easily ran through it.

Zach hummed in delight causing me to giggle still playing with his hair. "Don't stop." He mumbled into my shirt only causing me to laugh more. "Spoiled." I teased still messing with his hair. "Am not." He retorted. "Are too." I scoffed.

"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not."
"Are too."

"Maybe just a little..." He sheepishly admitted. "Mhm." I stuck my tongue out at him but he couldn't see it because his eyes were closed.

All of a sudden my phone rang.

"Let it ring." Zach tempted me. "Hold on one second." I laughed, reaching to get my phone from the desk next to the chair. "Mmph.." He groaned once my hands left his hair. "Hello?" I asked once I picked up the phone without glancing at the caller ID. "GOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD MORNINGGGGG BABY SISTERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!" Jonah yelled in my ear having me pull the phone from my ear immediately. "I hate you so much." I mumbled rubbing my ear. "I'm un-hateable." Jonah retaliated. "I beg to differ." I heard Mia from the background. "I second that." I added.

"ANYWAYS," Jonah interjected having us laugh. "We're downstairs and breakfast closes at 12 so you guys have 15 minutes to get down here." He told us. "Zach we only have 15 minutes to get food!" I told him anxiously. "I'm up! I'm up! I'm up!" Zach held his hands in defense as he released his arms from around me.

"We're on our way." I told Jonah as I stood from the chair myself. I grabbed the hotel key and Zach and I rushed to the stairs. We ran down the stairs as fast as we could before our opportunity for free food would be no more.

We made it in time and Zach and I sat at the back of the hotel with the others.

"That was a close one." I breathed as I sat down next to Zach in front of Jonah and Mia.

I looked down at my plate that had four slices of bacon to only see two.

I already knew who the culprit was so I looked to my brother Jonah.

Seeing him chewing MY bacon with a smug look on his face.

"Pig." I sneered as he chuckled at me. "You're always stealing my food!" I whined. "Mia, sick em' !" I pointed at Jonah. Mia smacked his arm having him wince rubbing it. "Stop stealing her food!" Mia scolded Jonah. "Owie!" Jonah pouted at her then shot me a quick glare.
